The hard part about the start of a pregnancy through four to six months is not showing and/or have people thinking you're just gaining weight. My co-workers knew from the start when I was pregnant with #2 (I started the job while 3 months pregnant) and yet one was oblivious about it.

“I have to leave for a little bit to go to the doctor,” I say to Geoff.

Surprised, he responds, “Are you OK?”

“I'm six months pregnant! What did you think I was? Getting fat?”

No one wants to hazard a guess if a woman is pregnant or not. There are women out there who naturally look pregnant. My 8th grade teacher was one of them, but we knew she wasn't because she was over 65. Before you jump and tell me there are women having babies in their senior years, this one never got larger in the whole nine months of the school year.
